About Rob Smith

Rob Smith became an artist at a young age, studying art in grade school and through high school. He was attracted to photography and took his first wet darkroom class in high school. Rob proficiently learned new techniques to manipulate images and began creating non-existent scenes through a photographic style coined as Photo Unrealism.

Rob attended Towson University and pursued majors in Physics and Photography. During this time he studied how and why light reacts in filters, lenses, and cameras, as well as taking many drawing and painting classes. Before long he broke out of the wet darkroom and began taking Digital Photography classes. This allowed Rob to become more expeditious with his art. He spent countless hours in the digital studio, and he soon became fluent in Photoshop programs. This allowed him to flawlessly blend and manipulate images, and restore scratched and faded photographs to virtually new condition. Rob Smith received his Bachelor’s Degree of Science with a concentration of Photography from Towson University.

While still in college Rob began photographing weddings. He became a primary assistant to Shlomo Cohen Photography and eagerly learned to adapt to ever changing situations. Rob’s artistic eye and years of experience allow him to artistically capture meaningful moments as they occur. Not only does he photograph the traditional poses, but captures a visual narrative of your moments that cannot be posed or recreated

In his most recent years, Rob has blended his love for photography with that of painting. Using different techniques, he paints watercolors over his photographs to give an attractive painter’s quality to beautiful and scenic photographs. In more detailed portraits, Rob paints a brushstroke overlay to enhance the artistic quality of your portrait.
